Oh No Swine Flu!
I'd really like to try out a manual push mower, or what they call a "reel" mower, but those suckers are expensive. I admit I am intimidated by the internal combustion engine, and this seems like a much more basic contraption, one I could be more comfortable around. I do fear though, that it may prove to be too manual, or not sufficient in cutting the blades of my grasses. It's hard to say, I'm not sure I want to spend $95+ on an experiment. Perhaps I shall look at pawn shops, since I need to buy some soil manipulation devices to aid in a potential vegetable gardening project anyway. We'll see.
